YUP! CITO Season 2, 2026
WHAT TO WEAR AND BRING:
Dress to get dirty. Geocaching is not a sexy sport.
- Long pants — because weeds, sticks, mud, and nature.
- Boots or sturdy shoes — your clean white sneakers have been warned.
- Trash grabber — bring your favorite if you have one. Yes, apparently we have favorite trash grabbers now.
- Work gloves — because some things are better left unidentified.
- Rain gear & layers — Mother Nature has not RSVPed, so plan accordingly.
There is NO shelter, so keep an eye on the weather. But hey, you’re voluntarily spending your day picking up trash… a little weather isn’t going to stop you, right?!
CREEK CREW WANTED!
The creek is one of the main features of the park—and, naturally, trash decides that’s where it lives.
If you’re sure-footed and willing to step across some rocks and snag trash from the water, we could use a few adventurous volunteers.
Think of it as Terrain 2.5 with a garbage bag.
No FTF. No ammo can. Just the satisfaction of knowing that suspicious-looking bottle is no longer in the creek.
One Day. Many Communities. A World of Difference.
A little over 2 years ago georeyna a geocacher in Houston, TX asked a simple question - What could happen if geocachers around Texas came together on one day to make their communities cleaner? Based on that simple question, Texas Geocaching Association (TXGA) created an event named CITO Across Texas in conjunction with World Cleanup Day.
Geocachers throughout Texas held cleanup events on the third Saturday in September. Each event is locally organized, but together they became part of something much bigger. CITO Across Texas was born!
The results have been tremendous. During 2024 and 2025:
- More than 50 CITO events were held across Texas.
- More than 700 volunteers participated.
- Thousands of pounds of trash were removed from parks, trails, waterways, neighborhoods, and other public spaces.
In 2026, we want to take the next step and we are inviting the worldwide community of geocachers to help clean up our game board.
Together, we can turn dozens of CITO events into one powerful worldwide statement.
